Do you use interrobangs?

I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma ~ Eartha Kitt.

Writing (36) Grammar (3) Punctuation (1)

The interrobang is a seldom used question mark that expresses both surprise and a question at the same time, similar to the way people sometimes use a question mark and an exclamation point together in informal language, eg. "He did what?!"
Do you ever use interrobangs?

To be honest I only knew what they were called since there is George Hrab albumn called Interrobang. I do often use "?!" in informal writing but I have never been bothered to work out a keyboard shortcut to use an interrobang when typing.

Also, I really like saying "interrobang."

Cool piece of punctuation that I haven't used before. Once I figure out how to type one I'm sure I'll use them.

Yes, I know. I just used it incorrectly. Got a bit ahead of myself. Haha.

I have never heard of them.

I wouldn't know where(if on my computer keyboard they are.)

''You live and learn''................I'm speechless!

I've never heard of it before, but I think it is a great idea and wish that it was a key on all computers.

I didn't know there was a term for it, but yes I often use it - especially in verbal conversations with others. It looks cool, and takes a bit of the load off of asking a question/making a statement :P

Interrobang. I do like that!

And I love an exclamation mark!

I do think i have used this, but probably as "!?"
